The Ferryman

🎮 Play on Itch!

Embark on a chilling adventure into the unknown in this haunting point-and-click adventure game. You find yourself awakening as a lost soul, shrouded in darkness with no memory of your past life. Traverse through the mysterious realms of the underworld, to deliver your soul to it's final resting place.

Controls:

Mouse only (points you can move / interact with change your cursor colour).

#### Note: There is audio, but it's just a background hum on the first scene which you might have to turn up your volume to hear! Unfortunately due to running out of time, there's only the entrance and exit points to the Docks scene.
Also to save you looking around for ages, I'll put a few spoilers in a comment below.

Retro Dev Log:

Unfortunately started late on this due to other commitments, so struggled with scope again. (Seems to be a recurring theme for me in LD!) Actually managed to include audio and sfx this time, the artwork is kinda all over the place as I only really had time for rough drafts, but I'm pretty happy with the direction of some of it.

Would love to have actually included all the NPCs I had planned, and do another pass over most of the pixelart, but had to cut a load to get it finished.
(Sorry that the 2nd scene, the Acheron River, is so long - there was meant to be a few interact points to go back and forward.)

First time doing real animations, lighting, environments, and a completely new control scheme type for me, so overall pretty happy with the result.
